He's honestly not wrong in today's news cycle.
Nixon deserves a renaissance because of Watergate?
I was and am speaking to the news cycle part of the comment. The turn around is light speed these days.
Yes. Also in part because Trump was entangled in so many Democrat-created scandals that just one can hardly stay in the news as long as Watergate did.

Trump is a creation of the current news cycle and the current news cycle is a creation of Trump. It's a symbiotic relationship.
The existence of Fox News destroyed any chance of a legitimate ethics standard for the right.

Not everything is a Trump phenomenon, it's the world we live in.
That's why I said "in part." It's partially him.
Seems unnecessary to add that, the news cycle would be the same with or without Trump in office.
No, I don't think it would. IMO that's naive of you to think that Trump has no effect on how things are covered.
The news cycle was like this during Biden's presidency too. This isn't a Trump issue as much as you'd like to make it one.
Honestly, the Biden presidency was still basically a time when Trump was affecting the news, and even so there were relatively minor stories (like Hunter Biden) that were able to linger a lot longer than Trump's scandals do because Biden's administration was more boring.

The Democrats just stole the election. The person with dementia had the most votes in history. These were scandals Biden and his administration were involved in. I wouldn't call this boring, it was interesting precisely because the media was trying to suppress all this:
- Hunter Biden influence-peddling and foreign business dealings
- Biden family corruption - Big Guy gets his.
- Hunter Biden laptop suppression - Russian disinformation hoax
- Classified documents found at Biden's properties
- Afghanistan withdrawal disaster
- Border crisis and immigration policies
- Inflation and economic mismanagement ("Bidenomics")
- Concerns about Biden's age, mental fitness, and leadership ability
- Ukraine/Burisma allegations
- Energy policies and the "war on American energy"
- COVID vaccine mandates and government overreach
- White House cocaine discovery and transparency
- Weaponization of federal agencies to go after political opposition
- Government censorship/social media pressure
- Crime and public safety concerns under Biden-era policies

Hunter's laptop? They said it was "Russian disinformation".
The biolabs in Ukraine? They said it was "Russian disinformation".
Covid being man-made? They said it was "Russian disinformation".
All of it ended up being true.
They also said Q was "Russian disinformation".
